Nee Brothers To Direct Sony’s ‘Masters Of The Universe’

Sony Pictures has tapped Aaron and Adam Nee to direct the upcoming live-action adaptation of Masters of the Universe.

David S. Goyer was previously reported to be in talks for the directing job and also wrote the latest draft of the script, however, his busy schedule resulted in his exit from negotiations to helm the project in February.

The project was then said to be in soft preparation as concept art is being developed while the studio met with other potential directors in an effort to maintain its scheduled release date.

Plot details remain under wraps but like the animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the film is expected to take place on the fictional planet Eternia, as it follows a warrior named Prince Adam who turns into the heroic He-Man and battles a villain named Skeletor who is out to conquer Castle Grayskull.

Escape Artists principals Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch are producing the project with Mattel’s Julia Pistor and David Voss, and Goyer serving as executive producers. Matthew Milam is overseeing the production for Sony.

Masters of the Universe is currently slated to be hit theaters on December 18, 2019.
